Hello Jean
It's presumably because your internet security software blocks pop-ups,
and Ctrl+F5 changes that software's settings. Video clips, (Windows
Media, Real or Quicktime) all play in pop-up windows. I don't think
it's anything to do with JavaScript; that's more for interactive things
like changing colour when the mouse rolls over something or displaying
the current date.

Can any of you who are whizzes with computers explain the following:
I have JavaScript enabled, but I cannot get a pop-up window on a web
page to pop-up, or get a video window to play. If I disable internet
security, press Ctrl and f5, re-enable internet security, I can then
get the pop-up window to open or the video to play.
It was a tip I found on a web page. It works, but I'd like to know why.
